Escorts Kubota posted its highest-ever quarterly EBITDA of Rs.438.7 crores in Q3 FY26, up 30.9% YoY, with EBITDA margin expanding 203 bps to 13.5%. Net profit from continuing operations grew 24.7% to Rs.362.4 crores (Rs.401.6 crores adjusted, up 38.3%) after a Rs.52.5 crore one-time impact from the new labour code. Tractor volumes rose 13.5% YoY to 36,955 units while the domestic tractor industry grew 23%; exports surged ~63% led by Kubota Global Network demand. The board declared a one-time special dividend of Rs.18 per share following the railway business divestment. Construction Equipment remains soft (industry down ~16% YoY) but degrowth is narrowing each quarter and the company guided to a 6-7% industry CAGR till FY30. Management sees Q4 commodity pressure from copper, aluminium, and steel, especially in CE.
Strong margin expansion and record profits are positive for the stock, supported by a special dividend and healthy export momentum. However, near-term commodity headwinds in Q4 and a likely high-base effect in FY27 could limit upside, while the Greenfield plant (production targeted 2029-30) signals long-term growth optionality.
